Thank you so much BE, Dilbert55, Hartmut, and Christian for your kind comments and much appreciated compliments... B.E, I`m very pleased the KWdG finds the approval of a master builder as you are, many thanks for your nice words... Dilbert55, yeah, in lack of large amplifyers the passengers have to put up with the "Humpa..." band, good old hand made musik Hartmut, glad you find pleasure exploring the build..., it was my most challenging one so far... Christian, I`m very pleased that the aimed heritage and nostalgic touch could come over with this model, thanks for your words... Nils

Hi Dan, thanks for your words, I feel a ship without figurines is too naked. So one criteria to choose the scale for any new project (amoungst others) is of course... are there adequate figurines available I could use ? Many thanks for following the log regulary.... Nils

Hi Greg, Thanks so much for your kind words and compliment... yes, you are so right, and I also think this model deserves display in the living area of our house, if only there were the space of appr. 150 cm to set it up. The installation of 1 or 2 halogen spots from the ceiling for illumination would not be a problem though... Thanks again for your thoughts..., Nils

My humble method of making strops for blocks
Mirabell61 replied to Moxis's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Many thanks for sharing this Moxis, good looking block stropping job... Nils -
Many thanks to Gerhard, Druxey, Kevin, Ian, Steve and Don, all the positive response to this completed build is very encouraging to me and making my day... Gerhard, its a pleasure sharing with fellow builders, thanks to all that followed... Druxey, all suggestions are welcome, the making of the flags I know should have been a bit better. Thanks for the reminder, I`ll try to iron down a copied tranferfoil (with ink jet printer) to a fine weaved handkerchief fibre. Was just too "lazy" to try it out at this small scale, but it worked well on the 1:64 ensign flag of my "HMS Pegasus" Kevin, you are always welcome aboard... Ian, thanks for your nice words... Steve, I`m glad you liked the building journey... Don, many thanks for your appreciative words Nils

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
